With Émonda SL 6 Pro, you get all the advantages of an ultralight OCLV Carbon frameset and a race-worthy Ultegra drivetrain, with the added benefit of lightweight Bontrager Aeolus Pro 3 carbon wheels. This carbon road bike is a great option for a wide range of roadies, and the upgrade to carbon wheels delivers major gains in speed and handling.

It's right for you if...

Whether you're racing to the line or going for a new distance milestone, you want every advantage in speed, light weight, and handling. You'd rather get the whole performance package now than make an upgrade to carbon wheels down the line.

For all the great things about the lightweight Émonda SL 6 Pro, the best is that it pairs a high-quality frame and high-end drivetrain with super nice carbon wheels. This upgrade makes it a real contender for any kind of ride or race.

Why you'll love it

- Lightweight parts to match the lightweight frame: with Émonda SL 6 Pro, there's nothing left to upgrade- It's got climbing in its genes, and the lightweight OCLV Carbon frame lets you explore bigger mountains with less effort- Like every Émonda, it's built to be the lightest and fastest in its class and backed by our lifetime warranty

I have put about 600 miles and 40,000 ft of climbing on the bike.
The bike is super quick off the line, climbs very well and descends like a fiend. The carbon wheels are super stiff both vertically and laterally and have zero issues with stopping power or heating with heavy use. (Just be sure to use the proper pads) Bottom Bracket and stays are also very stiff where needed to put the power down.
The short wheelbase makes the bike handle very well in most situations but tends to want to swap ends over bumps at high speed. (Its only real vice) 700x25 tires makes the ride very smooth and grippy so bumps are less of an issue than with other bikes.
Ultegra r8000 build kit is very solid and performs very well. Direct Mount Brakes are the only swap in the build kit but they are paired well with the carbon wheels. Most would be OK with Compact Crank but a potential upgrade is to purchase the chainrings to convert to a standard crankset.
